A PSYCHEDLIC ECHOESWe turn on, tune in and trip out on the sound of the psychedelic
sixties. We break out the lava lamp and trip through a pastoral
brand of psychedelic music including the sounds of Pink Floyd,
Spirit, and The Jefferson Airplane. We'll also hear some of their
psychedelic heirs including Sigur Ros and The Future Sound of
London It's part of a hallucinatory flashback on a Psychedelic
Echoes.

Echoes CD of the Month for February:
Amethystium APHELIONFantasy music seems to be in the air these days and Amethystium
tunes into that spirit on his new CD, APHELION. Amethystium is
Norwegian keyboardist Oystein Ramfjord, who swirls electronica
designs ala Delirium with old analog sounds and contemporary loops,
forging a lush, imaginary orchestra that is the soundtrack you
wish you'd heard in Lord of the Rings. We feature as Echoes February
CD of the Month.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH PEPPINO D'AGOSTINO & DAVID TANENBAUM
Peppino D'Agostino and David Tanenbaum are acoustic guitar
wizards who work their magic from opposite ends of the wand. Tanenbaum
is a classical virtuoso, playing nylon string guitar and specializing
in contemporary compositions. D'Agostino is a self-taught musician
from the Will Ackerman/Michael Hedges generation of folk-based
finger-style players. They got together recently on a CD called
CLASSIC/STEEL (Minestrone Music) that tries to bring their worlds
together. We hear these two Bay Area musicians trading contrapuntal
melodies and deft interchanges in this live performance.

BANCO DE GAIA-GLOBAL GROOVESIn his home in the west of England, we visit Toby Marks, better
known by his recording persona, Banco de Gaia. Toby Marks has
always eschewed the term "ethno-techno", a genre that
he helped spawn despite his ambivalence. Banco de Gaia launched
a fusion of global music elements welded to kinetic rhythms and
electro-sync grooves that even eight years later, holds up to
extended listening. His 1995 album, LAST TRAIN TO LHASA (Six Degrees)
is a signpost of ambient and techno music. A collection of his
music BANCO DE GAIA: 10 YEARS (Six Degrees) was recently issued.
Toby Marks takes us back to the birth of Banco de Gaia in Birmingham's
Mega Dog and Whirly-gig raves up to the present.

Friday 02/06/03
MICHAEL HEWETT'S YOGA GROOVESMichael Hewett spends his days teaching yoga in Manhattan.
He's combined his yogic philosophy with music, playing finger
style acoustic guitar through digital delays and effects and wrapping
them in modern chamber arrangements with cello, bass and percussion.
Michael Hewett talks about putting some edge into yoga music on
his CD, BEING IN DREAMING (Dharma Moon).
